[@pjwilliams2034]

Thank you. My curiosity about weaving lead me to your video tutorial. I love your style of instruction! You are very thorough, and you speak at a nice pace. And your sample project turned out beautiful!

[@APrettyFix]

Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say. I have a small but growing collection of videos here as well as various blog posts on my website, and an entire Weaving Basics Video course offered through my Etsy shop. You could say I am a bit of a weaving nut ;) But I love sharing all that I know. Take care!

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful 😊

Great tutorial, thank you for such useful tips. I have never been interested in weaving, but after learning how to make our own and seeing your lovely work, I do feel like giving it a try!

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi, Helena, Hope you do try weaving it's rather addictive though, (in a good way) I used to knit but have had to give it up, I had lots of yarns so this gave me a great way of using them up. Although I still add to my stash. It's also great to have had something else to do during lockdown. Hope you do give it a try. Keep safe . From England UK xx

Hello Jelica, I would like To tell you That i love your Job, now i follow you on Instagram and I can tell you are the only one who has really share the ways of waiving!!!! Here in Mexico is a little hard and expensive to find the merino yarn , or the real chunky yarn, and I’ve done some tapestry’s with what I have and what I find, I have actually cut some clothing that I don’t use anymore hahahah anyways, thanks for sharing…. Blessing from Mexico!!!!

[@APrettyFix]

Hello Alejandra! Thank you for your kind words. Using old clothing is a brilliant idea. I once used fabric from a thrift store to create some interesting textures in a tapestry and I loved how it turned out! Sometimes you have to get creative to get the job done - haha! Blessings from Canada!!

Best introduction to round weaving I’ve found!

[@APrettyFix]

Thank you! So glad you found this introduction useful. It was done in real time for the benefit of beginners :)

[@bayford2036]

This is absolutely what I needed. Bought my first bits of yarn and a hoop today! Stunning work, I’ll definitely be needing a few more watches 😁

[@APrettyFix]

So glad you've taken the plunge! Weaving - in all its forms - is such a wonderful creative outlet. The only downside? Trying to keep my kitties away from my yarn!

Thanks for sharing

[@APrettyFix]

This was done in real time on Facebook Live. Happy to share it here on KZbin :)

I had the same conundrum with regards having 2 ‘over’ together at the end of my single row and it took me ages to work out why! It’s because if you did another row your next stitch would be under your first stitch (which is an ‘over’) so it is right .... if that makes sense!

[@APrettyFix]

Yes Debbie! I feel your pain! Thanks for the tip :)

[@sobeidaestherolivaresrodri2665]

Me gusto este telar'felicidades y gracias por la explicacion

[@APrettyFix]

I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful. Happy weaving!

[@TxgrlnGa]

Wouldn’t it be better to wrap around the hoop when pre-measuring the warp to insure a more accurate measure?

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi, this is beautiful, I can't wait to give it a try. Especially as you made it look so easy. Thanks for a great tutorial. Keep weaving. Keep safe. From England UK xx

[@APrettyFix]

Thank you for your kind words Jennifer. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and that it's got you inspired. Hope you're staying safe in your neck of the woods, as they say. Take care!

[@barbhayes5613]

Great video! I was rolling a skein of some lovely wool yarn for a circular weave I'm making (first effort!) so it was very helpful to follow your thought process and technique. Thank you for sharing!

[@APrettyFix]

So glad I could help! This was a Facebook Live upload, so it is all recorded in real-time and, hopefully, easy to follow :)

[@vvmn9442]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been struggling on what to do for my textile weaving lessons🥺

[@APrettyFix]

Glad I could provide you with a little more to feed your weaving passion! Hoping to add more to my channel :)

❤this! ☺

[@lindawoods2603]

I'm a newbie with weaving, do you think You can paint the loom?

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi, Linda yeah you can paint the loom, you paint it before you start .make sure its completely dry though and that the paint doesnt rub off onto your weaving give it a slight rub just so you know it's not going to rub off onto your weaving.Another thing you could do is wrap the hoop with something thin cotton. Hope this helps. Keep weaving,keep safe. From England UK xx

[@APrettyFix]

Yes, absolutely you can. You can paint it, wrap fabric around it, wrap yarn around it - you name it! Lots of great ways to finish off the look.

[@gourimutha3901]

While doing weaving, the starting part at centre. Do we to take yarn between the spokes, I mean that while roping the spokes they got double. So do we need to take shuttle through those double spokes gap or should consider double spokes as one spokes then weave between those inch gapes?

[@APrettyFix]

You can choose one of two options: 1. Weave around both 'spokes' in the center (in other words, treat both spokes as if they were just one spoke). 2. Or you can weave around just one spoke in the center. You can always try both ways and see which one you like best! Depending on how dense the spokes are in the center, you can decide if option #1 or option #2 works best.

[@sdc9572]

I enjoyed your weaving but it looks unfinished to me. I would somehow cover the wood or stain it. I will continue watching for more instruction.

[@APrettyFix]

I hear you! It's all based on personal preference. Once you learn the basics of circle weaving, you can absolutely finish it in any way you'd like. Some leave the wood frame unfinished, while others prefer wrapping the frame with scrap fabrics, and still others use a thick cotton cord to wrap the frame. So many possibilities!

[@Eternal_Starlight]

Very interesting and beautiful! 💓 So we don’t take it out of the circle frame after it’s done ?

[@APrettyFix]

No need to take it out. The hoop is the frame :) If you want to add embellishments to the frame or wish to change the colour of it, just take more yarn or fabric scraps and wrap around the entire frame (before you even begin to start the circle weaving). Or paint the hoop before you begin. Endless possibilities!

soooooooo slow!

[@APrettyFix]

Hi Eli! That's true, but this was a Facebook Live which means this was a repost of a DIY done in real time - no editing. Warts and all. I'm sure you can find something more suitable to your pace elsewhere. Take care!
